Communication textures for the urban movement of people with visual impairments: The navigation, the itinerary, and the phone call
Making an Accessible City: A Critique of Cartographic Reason through Emphasis on Corpography
Inspired by Gunnar Olsson, this article critiques the use of cartographic reason in the process of creating an accessible city for people with disabilities. It also borrows Gregory's ontological conceptual pair of cartography and corpography, showing the ontological transformations that occur within this pair during the practical removal of barriers to mobility in Brno, Czech Republic. The methodology employed involves semi‐structured interviews …
Visual disability in spatio-temporal assemblages: Conceptualizing Reference Points From a Non-Pointillist Perspective
Wait, really, stop, stop: Go-along interviews with visually disabled people and the pitfalls of ableist methodologies
Despite the growing interest in walking methods in disability research, their methodological difficulties are rarely examined. Therefore, we debate the challenges of doing go-along interviews with visually disabled people when geographically studying blind experience with urban space. The article is divided into two parts. The methodological part examines the difficulties we encountered to contribute to the critical discussion of the ableist natu…
Film programming politics vis-à-vis festival site politics: The case of the Mezipatra queer film festival
This paper belongs to the sub-field of queer geography. It is a spatially sensitive study of queer film festival programming that relates its politics to the affective politics of the site. It focuses on the Mezipatra Queer Film Festival, which is a film festival that takes place in the cities of Prague and Brno, Czech Republic. We differentiate between intentional subject-centred programming politics and de-subjectivated festival site politics. …
Housing as an Exception, Eviction as Everyday Life
This article focuses on evictability and the eviction of the residents of one block of flats in a small southern Slovakian town. Most of the building's inhabitants are Roma, but the problem of cultural racism is interconnected with political, economic, legal, and even research and activist issues. The article is based on socially committed ethnographic research and the perspective of critical human geography. The theoretical framework is informed…
Buďme pragmatici, požadujme nezamýšlené: Designování intervencí v etnografickém výzkumu sociálního vyloučení
The present paper intends to follow the debate on applied research in Czech social sciences and presents the case of interdisciplinary research in Southern Slovakia. The authors frame their approach to the research field using the Deleuzian terms of virtuality and multiplicity to underline the processual character of both ethnography and the field itself. On this basis, we develop the argument that the social sciences always act ontologically thr…
The exclusion of Others through Facebook: The technological unconscious, the Orientalist unconscious, and the European migrant crisis
The paper focuses on Facebook's shaping of communication regarding the European migrant crisis in the Czech Republic. Topological spaces in communication with entanglements of inclusion and exclusion were produced by practicing the communication, with the mutual influence of two kinds of the collective unconscious, the technological and the Orientalist unconscious. The paper is based on a participant observation of Czech-language Facebook groups …
Visualizing the European migrant crisis on social media: The relation of crisis visualities to migrant visibility
The paper analyses popular geographical imageries of the European migrant crisis. It focuses on visualities that shaped discussions about the event among Czech Facebook users with anti-immigration attitudes. The paper elaborates on the co-production of migrants’ visibility and visualities that depict them in certain ways. Visuality influences visibility and shapes what it means for people (who are represented by images) to be visible in certain w…
Communicating temporalities: The Orientalist unconscious, the European migrant crisis, and the time of the Other
The problem of different post-colonial spatial contexts in television news about distant wartime suffering
The point of departure of the article is distant suffering studies. The article tries to supplement them by theses from post-colonial and critical spatial theories that were elaborated in post-colonial geography. Through post-colonial imaginative geographies, the spatial context shapes Western television performances of wartime suffering. This is demonstrated by empirical examples of mediation of wars in Mali, Palestine and Syria, from the news o…
The make-believe space: Affective Geography in a Postwar Polity
Lewis Call, a proponent of post-anarchism, wrote: ‘The system rules us because we believe it can, and we believe it can because we believe that it is real’ (2002, p. 113). There is no explicit conn
Imaginative geographies of distant suffering: Two cases of the Syrian Civil War on television
The paper builds upon distant suffering studies and the ‘analytics of mediation’. It observes how television performances of suffering expose spectators to dispositions to feel, think and act towards each instance of suffering. It analyses the news coverage of civilians’ suffering in the Syrian Civil War that was presented by Czech public television broadcaster. The interpretation of imaginative geographies expands the analysis because of the nee…
